Thanks, but it still doesn't answer the question:
"""
As Samuel pointed it out, this unfortunately may break a number of
things in Buildroot. They are packages that depend on host-python, and
would only be capable of using an Python 2.x host-python.
Or at least, I would like to have the confirmation that all packages
that depend on host-python continue to build normally when host-python
is Python 3.
That said, some packages are not really clear about this. For example,
Scons uses the Python provided with the distribution, and not the
host-python built by Buildroot.
As you can see, this is not a trivial topic.

Best regards,
Thomas
